Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2613214A1] The method involves selecting a predefined exposure mode that is defined by a set of parameters. The set of parameters is allowed to describe a trajectory (38) that is to be transmitted to a rotary wing drone (10) i.e. quadricopter. The parameters are allowed belong to a specific group e.g. displacement speed group. A set of setpoint values is generated from the set of parameters. The setpoint values are applied to a processing subsystem for controlling motors of the drone. A video camera (14) is activated once the drone is stabilized on the trajectory conforming to the parameters.
